Converse, Blackford County, Indiana
Converse is a nearly extinct American unincorporated community in Indiana's Blackford County. Although not much of the community remains, the U.S. Geological Survey considers it a populated place. The community existed as a "flag" station along a railroad, and is named after railroad executive Joel N. Converse.〔 Like many communities in Blackford County, this village declined after the end of the Indiana Gas Boom, which ended in the early 20th century.
== History ==
In 1837, Edward Crumley moved to the southeast corner of the Blackford County, and began a farm with his family. The area in this corner of the county would eventually be named Jackson Township. Crumley's farm was located at a crossroads, and the area became known as Crumley's Crossing. The crossroads area grew into a small community with several cabins, a blacksmith shop, and a sawmill.〔''A History of Blackford County....,'' p. 129.〕 The Union and Logansport Railroad Company reached Blackford County in 1867, and the community became a flag stop on the railroad.〔''Biographical and historical record of Jay and Blackford Counties...,'' p. 758.〕 The community was platted in 1867, and renamed for railroad executive Joel N. Converse.〔 In addition to a sawmill and blacksmith shop, the community had a store, school, and church. The church was a Methodist church, but later became the Kingsley Full Gospel church. For this reason, the area is sometimes called by a third name, which is "Kingsley". Thus, Crumley's Crossing, Converse, and Kingsley all refer to the same place in Blackford County.〔 Blackford County's Converse should not be confused with the town of Converse, which is located in Grant County.
